Sneak peek


Almost done. Just imagine little black buttons for wheels. There are several things I've been working on, but I don't want to ruin any surprises by posting them.

Signs that winter has hit:

1. I went to have our snow tires put on the car today and the parking lot was absolutely packed. Everyone realized they had already waited a week too long.

2. You can hear Christmas music 24/7 on the radio.

3a. I'd like to include all the stores selling their holiday junk, but that stuff has been out since before Halloween. It just doesn't count.

3b. I'm about to start tutoring a student at BMA, but I couldn't reach him because they're all skiing.

4. Winter boots are now the shoe of choice for walking the dogs.

5. Bella has switched from eating grass to snow.

6. We're back into the rhythm or starting our fire every day.

I have to say, I am really excited about winter. Really, the excitement comes every year with that first snowfall, but it just seems like we've had a cozy start to the coming cold, dark months. Perhaps I realize how fast the last six months have gone as I watch Timothy change so quickly. At any rate, I welcome the rosy cheeks and frosty breath, the hot tea and holiday cookies, the toasty fire its warm glow.

ummm....Loralee. That is amazing. I said out loud "oh my gosh" when I saw the picture and then couldn't close my mouth for a minute. I stared at the computer like a dope. I made Dave come and look. Just so I could show someone. I am sooo impressed. I am sitting here thinking how I put up pics all of the time of things that take me usually under an hour...and here you are with this. Wow.

And! I am so totally glad that it snowed!!! I hope it sticks around this week so I can teach Andrew how to romp in the snow! He doesn't have snow clothes...he has never needed any! In his whole little life. Pathetic.

So, I am off to bed but feeling good and jealous and a bit creatively challenged by this post (which I absolutely welcome!) and I have great hopes for good snow dreams.

Good night!
See you Friday!
